Spotify or Pandora


A relative pointed out two music download websites: Spotify and Pandora. I don't know anything about music downloads. But I was hoping to stream hi-rez original artist oldies. I tried one selection on Spotify and it sounded like MP3 quality and didn't seem like original artists were singing.

Please advise. I would love to stream in hi-rez oldies from the 50s and 60s, but don't know if Spotify or Pandora are good sources.

Thanks

there's no question that under optimal listening conditions, through good equipment, tidal soundsĀ  better than spotify. however, in the less than optimal conditions i do the majority of my listening (gym/car/noisy office), the difference isn't as significant, and for me the superior library and interface (+lower cost) of spotify is the deciding factor. pandora is the most user-friendly but has a far too skinny library and sounds bad to me.
